unsignable
but he’s a very nice pitcher.
Founder of the Rowdy Hardy Fan Club
Not if he offers...
him 18 million dollars
His family sent out a letter to every team
saying not to draft him because he’s not going to sign.

I didn’t receive this letter. And I will be giving him a billion dollar signing bonus.

The greatest trick the White Sox ever pulled was convincing their fan base that "Ozzieball" ever existed.

Braves take Lintz
Seth Lintz RHP Marshall County HS, Lewisburg, Tenn.
nice pick
He will go a lot higher than this in the real draft. His starts have been flooded with scouts recently.
Founder of the Rowdy Hardy Fan Club
was choosing among Lintz, Cox and Stovall
but guys before me help making decision :)
if no one picks for the cubs
i’d offer up brandon crawford … i don’t think he’s been picked yet
commissioner
Commissioner seizes control of Cubs due to time constraints, selects Aaron Weatherford RHP Miss. ST.
commish
The Marlins object to your selection.
by threesixteen on May 31, 2008 4:03 PM EDT up reply actions
is objecting allowed?
if so, as a cubs fan, i’d say weatherford doesn’t seem like a guy we’d go after this high
I think
it’s punishment…that’s just me…

lets do at least 1 more
2008 - A New Era. The End of An Era.
or at least lemme pick the first pick
I’ll do it right now if u want
2008 - A New Era. The End of An Era.

4 is fine
I am okay with 4 if that is what the community wants.

Cut it
I agree with John. Too many GMs have left early and this has already taken 3 1/2 hours. I am ready to call it a day.

at least one more
just keep making picks for people who aren’t here.
Founder of the Rowdy Hardy Fan Club
Id say lets do 4
but am fine with whatever.
doesn't matter
I’ll go one more if everyone else is, but it wouldn’t hurt my feelings to stop.
FOUR ROUNDS
2008 - A New Era. The End of An Era.
so who do yall think
has the best draft so far? i think nat’s but it’s not like i’m biased
by bartonboi on May 31, 2008 4:34 PM EDT reply actions
This years seems to be quite short on positional players
by Angels and Demons on May 31, 2008 4:35 PM EDT reply actions
true that (after the 1st round)
all my picks have been pitching just because thats where the value is
by bartonboi on May 31, 2008 4:37 PM EDT up reply actions
Also short on projectable arms
but a ton of short pitchers.
Founder of the Rowdy Hardy Fan Club
I could do four or five
"Sometimes I wonder whether the world is being run by smart people who are putting us on or by imbeciles who really mean it." - Mark Twain
I would prefer to go the full 5 rounds
I might be in the minority, but we’ve gone 5 every year before so why stop now? Some of us have put a lot of work into this and would like to see the draft completed.
Founder of the Rowdy Hardy Fan Club
we will see
we will see how things stand at the end of round four.
